Bleu De Solaise Leek

"Originally from Real Seeds: An old French winter variety - long leeks with blue-grey leaves. Hardy and very cold-resistant, it turns darker after frost.

In a comparative trial against 'Musselburgh', it was noticeably more vigorous, growing faster & bigger, although the two varieties share a common ancestry.

A good one for standing overwinter even in atrocious weather."

Tender and True Parsnip

From allotment.org.uk: An excellent variety with long roots, suitable for exhibition and a fine flavour. Smooth skinned and with a good resistance to canker

And what else......hang on....

Black Turtle Beans - Dwarf

Just a fine black bean, grows well and a good cropper. Great for black bean soup and a nice matt finish to this beautiful little bean.

Cheers aj, I'll add them to the list ;D

Right just about ready to go, although I've not heard back from Angel Shades, can't pm her as her box is full. But I'd prefer not to wait any longer to send everyones parcels out, pre Christmas treat ;D

We still haven't heard back from a couple of people and I can only assume after this time they are no longer intrested :o I thought I would divide their seeds and share between everyone. Speak up sharpish if you have another idea.

I'll hold 1 spare selection and Shades (hopefully she will be in touch soon) for a short time. But I wondered if these aren't needed we could divide them up and offer them as starter packs for those interested in Heritage/open pollinated varieties. What do you think?

aj · « **Reply #245 on:** December 09, 2010, 19:28:39 »

Can you ask a Mod to email Shades, and if no response in say - 48 hours - just divvy them up....or pop them on ebay and donate the £ to charity or something?

oh crikey, I'm here, sorry if I'm messing things up :-[ ,

didn't know my in box was full,the weather here has been awful and the royal mail only started up again today, and we have had no heating,just getting from a to b is still a nightmere here, so if I have to jump ship I understand , unfortunately it can't be helped/ shades x

Hi Shades, you’re not messing anything up :) although I admit and it would be lovely to send these parcels out as soon as possible, its surprising how much space they take up. Yep and I’m dying to open my parcel too. If you have your hands full at the mo, no pressure, I’ll go ahead and send these out and you send yours when you are ready. Or if you think you'll post in the next day or so I'll hold fire. I leave it up to you :) just ddn't want them caught in Christmas post.

Sounds like you have it pretty bad with you and no heating :o have you got a fire or something?

Hi Jayb lovely present to receive before xmas, looking forward to receiving my seeds.

If you are sending out the packages before all of the seeds are in, do you need another sae to be sent to you as i only sent you one envelope?

kindest regards

Very exciting!

So grateful to you, JayB, for organising this swap. Do you have a 'green Santa' outfi for the trip to the post officet?

And also - Happy Birthday!

ruud · « **Reply #253 on:** December 13, 2010, 15:51:36 »

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO YOU

Jayb · « **Reply #254 on:** December 14, 2010, 23:00:16 »

LOL, no green santa suit ;D
But how sad am I, I even sealed my seeds in an envelope so I can open them when I've heard the first ones arrived ;D

Thanks Lottie, I'm not sure, I'll message when I have some more to send out.

Thank you both, I had a really relaxed super birthday ;D

Thank you for the kind words but I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone for making it so fantastic, roll on next year ;D

Thank-you Jayb and all in the seedy circle the parcel is here , now should I put it under the tree and keep it for Christmas? As I know I will probably act like an over excited four year old when opening.
Merry Christmas all.

Robert_Brenchley · « **Reply #256 on:** December 15, 2010, 12:13:36 »

Mine arrived as well, thanks. I looked in the wrong place and put a thanks post on the swop board.

earlypea · « **Reply #257 on:** December 15, 2010, 15:21:31 »

Got mine today as a birthday present :D it's very exciting and of course, unwrapped - how could you wait?

Thanks a million for all the organising and packaging and so on Jayb.

(I will put up info on my beans when I can remember my google password ::) must be my incredible age)
